    I want to write, but i cant think of a "direction."

    There are two ways to begin writing at a pace you will be satisfied with: Hard Drugs Sleep Deprivation Also, for directions to write in, starting in the top right and going across the page, followed by down a line, is usually the best direction to go in. There's no shortcut for this stuff...

    How do you resist the urge to turn your stories into degenerate orgies?

    Ah the good ole exaggerated swagger>infectious flirtation>insatiably horny>incompetent Muppet>mentally exhausted>exaggerated swagger character cycle. Personally, I figure out where I started my character within this cycle when they entered the story, and do my best to ensure that most...

    You know Planeswalking in Magic: The Gathering? I want to be a pre-mending walker. Not quite a god, no responsibilities or pesky omniscience to deal with, but enough power and freedom to live whatever sort of life you want to out in the multiverse, or perhaps several hundred different lives. You...

    Thoughts on time dilation stories?

    Ok, hear me out: Realistic time dilation. A post-FTL space opera setting, focusing on the nature of FTL communications being used for mundane stuff, like dating. A star-crossed (perhaps quite literally) romance where the tragedy is that they can't be together because one or the other of them...

    What's your preferred tone for a series?

    It's about realism (no, not realism as in 'like nihilistic views on real life', actual realism). If I can't believe your world or story would be as lighthearted in tone as it presents itself, I have a problem with it. Conversely, if I can't believe your world or story would be as dark as it...

    What are some realistic and ethical concerns in regards to necromancy

    On a different site (In a different life and a different time at this point, with how long its been since I logged in to it) I have a fic that is solely about an undead that has been given sapience, that later ends up creating more undead of its own. One of the main ethical questions I had for...

    How do you structure your dialogue?

    I learned a life hack for dialogue from my Sophomore English teacher. She taught me to just write out nothing but the words the characters have spoken until you've completed the dialogue exchange, the go back and add break things up to add dialogue markers, breaks for a paragraph or two of...

    Authors! I'm going to make you feel good today

    Go into whatever doc you use to write your story or stories. Do CTRL+A, change formatting to double line spacing, change font to times new roman, and font size to 12. Now look at how many pages that is. That's how many pages of standard hardcover book you've written. You're welcome.

    How to write harem ?

    The trick is twofold: 1. Each individual pairing needs to make sense. The 'keypiece' of the harem needs to have valid, logically and emotionally consistent relationships with each harem member. 2. The members of the harem furthermore have logically and emotionally consistent reasons for it...

    Does building a lore book counts as writing?

    If you ever feel like writing lore isn't the same as writing an actual story, kindly remember that LoTR exists because a guy made several languages and then felt the need to justify them with lore. The story didn't come until much later. So yes, yes it does.

    Wierd Worlds

    Have an alt-reality earth where history happened the exact same way it has on our regular earth, but Earth is a ringworld(like Halo), so you can look up from New York and see across the Atlantic with a big enough telescope. Would be a really cool setpiece.

    Should futa use "Gender Bender" genre?

    No. Similarly to how a character becoming genderless (like all those Slime Isekais that happened after Tensura went mainstream) aren't gender-benders, the gender identity of the character is still female, just like how Rimuru's gender identity is still clearly male. When in doubt, ask if you...

    What inspired your protagonist and what inspired their antagonists?

    Title is the only question. I'll go first: My protagonist is heavily based on characters with a strong sense of drama (like Lelouch from Code Geass or King George III from Hamilton the Musical), mixed with a poetic and brutal sense of justice, plus a healthy dose of confident and consenual (but...

    How would you describe your main protagonist as poorly as possible?

    Guy who read Hamlet once, watched Technoblade's perspective on the Dream SMP, and spent so long writing self-insert stories about himself getting pegged that the combination of the three became his personality.
